🌟 YARN DE-STASH GIVEAWAY 🌟.

Helloooo, my friends! Thanks to everyone who responded to my question in my stories about whether or not to do a yarn de-stash giveaway. It was a resounding YES from everyone who responded. This is the first of three de-stash giveaways and there is likely to be more as I work through my yarn stash.

In this giveaway, I believe we have two sets of DK yarn and a set of chunky (or maybe super chunky) yarn.

Some yarn that I am looking forward to playing wit

Some yarn that I am looking forward to playing with in the next few months. Clockwise starting at 12 o’clock:

- Berroco Mercado in Rosa from the awesome peeps at @berrocoyarn.
- OOAK mini skeins that I won from a giveaway by the lovely Rachel of @flyydyed.
- Custom hand dyed yarn from the lovely Sian of @glendalefibres.

So, that’s me covered for two new patterns and one selfish project. I’ll let you guess which is which 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽.

Happy “nearly weekend” day, my friends!! As far as I’m concerned Friday is a weekend...at least in my head anyway 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️.

Whatchu up to?

The skirt made me do it...not even sure what type of pose I was trying to get here 🤔.

I’m so chuffed the skirt turned out exactly how I envisioned it. I see myself wearing this with sneakers most of the time...

Pattern: Hopeful Skirt (coming 🔜).
Yarn: King Cole Chunky Tweed.

Happy Sunday!! My daughter took a few pics of me t

Happy Sunday!! My daughter took a few pics of me today, so I figured I might as well do a meet-the-maker post as I haven’t done one in a while and I’ve had a fair few new followers lately.

So helloooooo 👋🏽, I’m Kunbi the maker behind Handmade by Kunbi.

I live in the UK with my husband (a.k.a the hubstar) and our two girls who are 6 years apart in age.

I’m very very very playful, I laugh a lot and I laugh loud. Like seriously, you can probably hear my laugh in a soundproof room 🤣🤣🤣.

I love coffee, red wine and the odd cocktail 🍸(Mojitooooo!!)...or mocktail 😊😊.

I’m a social introvert. Most people don’t believe this but I always need to retreat to recharge.

When we first meet, I may seem reserved but once we start chatting, that’s it...I may end up talking your ear off 🙈🙈.

I love hugs 🤗 and I’m really looking forward to when I can hug people again🤞🏽🤞🏽.

I looooove chatting with you guys in my DMs and there are some of you I chat with almost everyday! So, feel free to say hi in my DMs, okay?

Comment below and let me know one or two things about you 🙌🏽🙌🏽.
